AP Scores and credit?

I got a 4 on AP Calculus AB and a 3 on AP Chemistry this year. I also got a 4 on AP Statistics.

I'm really hopeful that my scores are good, I mean, I do try very hard. I wanted to take AP Physics at my school because I plan on majoring in Physics or Astrophysics, but I'm going to dual enroll my senior year in high school in a little not so good college with it.

So yeah, since it's time to start applications, I was thinking about which schools to apply to. I really want to go to the University of Florida, I've heard that they have a good physics program. But I also heard that Florida State University has an awesome lab. I have a dream... That some day, I will get into MIT, but that's kind of for fun. I doubt I'll be able to get in to MIT for physics, but I won't get in if I don't apply.

Anyway, will my scores of only 4's be good enough for good schools like UF? I am a well-rounded student, not in just academics, so I think I'll get in, but I want the credit for the AP classes as well.

Update:

What? No. What are you talking about.

Oh, by the way, I live in Florida. So it's cheaper if I stay in-state

    I see you want to get into UF too. (i live in Florida).

    Credit distribution: http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/catalog/policies/advi...

    Calculus suggestion: http://www.registrar.ufl.edu/catalog/policies/advi...

    So while you dual enroll, you ought to either take Calc I or (if you're confident), take Calc II.

    Those scores are good for UF (except Chemistry). You'll still get credit for introductory but not for the jackpot, which is 8 credits. About MIT, don't worry. I myself am genius in math and I'm absolutely sure I won't get into MIT. I'm not well rounded and only have a 3.7 GPA. MIT is really tough, 11% acceptence rate and is considered toughest school to enter. Thing is, it's mainly a school for engineering so it's not a big loss. Besides, Florida colleges are way cheaper.

    Coincidentially, you're going in for Astrophysics. I'm going for Aerospace Engineering (preferably Astronautics Engineering).
